We will look at Philippians 4:6-9.
Paul writes these words through the lens of JOY.
Though written from prison, Paul's message is that our immediate circumstances should not determine our outlook.
The words JOY and REJOICE are used sixteen times in this letter.
Yet, let's be honest; when life's garbage begins to pile up, the last thing we think about is being joyful. (Click to Tweet)
Worry robs us of peace and joy.
It's my hope that this weekend, we can encourage one another to receive this message...because in the midst of life's garbage there are precious gems to be discovered.
Will you pray for us?
What precious gem have you found in the midst of your garbage? I'd love to hear what you have discovered.
